An efficient and effective solution, meeting the automotive requirements, is successfully deployed and tested on a prototype car. Test driving results show that earlier recognition of intended maneuver is feasible on average 1 second (and up to 6.72 s) before the actual lane-marking crossing. The even earlier maneuver recognition is dependent on the earlier recognition of surrounding vehicles.}, subject = {Fahrerassistenzsystem}, language = {en} } @article{WeidlMadsenWangetal.2018, author = {Weidl, Galia and Madsen, Anders L. and Wang, Stevens Ruixi and Kaspar, Dietmar and Karlsen, Martin}, title = {Early and Accurate Recognition of Highway Traffic Maneuvers Considering Real-World Application : A Novel Framework Using Bayesian Networks}, series = {IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine}, volume = {2018}, journal = {IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Magazine}, number = {10/3}, doi = {10.1109/MITS.2018.2842049}, pages = {146 -- 158}, year = {2018}, abstract = {This paper presents a novel application of artificial cognitive systems to traffic scene understanding and early recognition of highway maneuvers. This is achieved by use of Bayesian networks for knowledge representation, to mimic the human reasoning on situation analysis and to manage inherited uncertainties in the automotive domain, that requires efficient and effective analysis of high volume and frequency data streams. The maneuver recognition uses features, analyzing the observed vehicles behavior and available free space on the target lane. Dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN) capture the motion of the own and surrounding vehicles as a dynamic process, following the trend development of lateral motion features. The static and dynamic models for maneuver recognition are statistically evaluated with real highway driving data sequences. The DBN demonstrates earlier recognition (∼ 1.1 seconds) and higher accuracy (1.12\% error rate) with more stable performance than the static models. The system is deployed on an experimental vehicle, where a Divide-and-conquer approach to inference in object-oriented Bayesian networks is introduced and its implementation is shown to require computation time of 0.15 milliseconds and ROM memory ∼ 10 2 kilobytes. The promising performance evaluation results are confirmed by test drives in real highway traffic.}, subject = {Fahrerassistenzsystem}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WeidlMadsenTereshchenkoetal.2015, author = {Weidl, Galia and Madsen, Anders L. and Tereshchenko, Viacheslav and Kaspar, Dietmar and Breuel, Gabi}, title = {Early Recognition of Maneuvers in Highway Traffic}, series = {European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Uncertainty, July 2015}, booktitle = {European Conference on Symbolic and Quantitative Approaches to Reasoning and Uncertainty, July 2015}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-319-20807-7_48}, year = {2015}, abstract = {This paper presents an application of Bayesian networks where early recognition of traffic maneuver intention is achieved using features of lane change, representing the relative dynamics between vehicles on the same lane and the free space to neighbor vehicles back and front on the target lane.

This paper introduces a methodology that combines argument mining with Bayesian networks to evaluate the relative eligibility of city project proposals. The methodology involves two main steps: (1) clustering arguments extracted from public information available on the Internet, and (2) assessing and comparing selected urban issues, planning topics, and citizens' ideas that have been widely discussed to measure public interest in potential candidate projects. The results of the clustering are fed into a Bayesian network, along with scores for several evaluation criteria, to generate a relative eligibility score. The framework was applied to three candidate projects, resulting in the selection of one of them, while the other two were rejected with a given explanation. The latter motivates the decision and provides transparency to all parties involved in the decision process.
